Uttar Pradesh reshuffle may follow after changes at centre SECTIONS Share Synopsis UP council can have a maximum of 60 ministers. After the death of ministers Chetan Chauhan, Kamal Rani Varun and Vijay Kashyap, there is room for six new ministers. Decision on inductees would be finalised depending on the nature of the central reshuffle. If certain equations related to caste and ally representation of UP are not taken care in the central reshuffle, they could be in UP. Reshuffle of the Uttar Pradesh ministry may follow the reshuffle in the Union Council of Ministers. Talks have resurfaced in Lucknow about an exercise to balance caste equations, accommodate members of allies and assuage disgruntled MLAs. Four legislative council seats have also fallen vacant, which can be used if non-legislators are made ministers.
